@arilbred - No, I have not seen 'Parkridge Challenger'. I have 'Magnificent Masterpiece' on order, partly for the rebloom, partly for the purple for DH. I wish it were fragrant, but I guess you can't have everything.
@Linneaj - yikes!
@Lucy- ok, thank you for that correction. Either way, I am sure that to be a ribbon winner, you have to do a lot of primping with the entry. I know what to do with daylilies; I imagine I will learn (probably the hard way) what to do with irises. If I enter anything.
